Hi all, i recently got a 2009 R/T with a little over 60k miles on it. i may be just being overly worrisome, but it seems when i get home from work after driving for a while on the highway, the engine has a smell too it. Like a "hot" smell if that makes sense. It's not like full on burning oil smell, or anything in particular. Its more like a combination of everything (and may be just the stuff they used to detail the engine burning off), it really just smells like an old muscle car would smell. and while i appreciate the nostalgia, i dont expect a newer car to smell at all. I realize its a hemi and a big engine, but has anyone else experienced this?
I did see a tiny bit of liquid overspray on the shroud area,, but i couldnt tell if maybe it was just water, its been snowing a lot here, it didnt seem to have any smell... and it was cold out so i didnt investigate very well. BUT, it was nearby the power steering, so i opened it up and BAAM! it was under a crazy amount of pressure.. that cant be normal right? ive never had that happen before, is it possible at all that something is going on there and pushing out power steering fluid?
or am i just freaking out for no reason? i checked the dealers service records on the car and they all looked good and thorough... thaks for any help you can give.
